WA: Raindrop Rally 2024 – Rally in the Valleys
May 5 @ 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM
Raindrop 2024—Rally in the Valleys will start at the “big rock” in Duval. It will be a leisurely paced Time-Speed-Distance (TSD) rally along some of the rivers and their valleys that make up the northeast corner of the Seattle area. Some great driving roads have views, twisty bits, and urban obstacles that are entertaining/challenging for the driver and navigator alike.
Entrants receive instructions with specific, clear directions at speeds at or below legal limits, with specific times to start each section at one-minute intervals. Raindrop is a “closed control” (passage control) format where cars do not stop at checkpoints. The goal is to pass each checkpoint in the correct second, and the car with the fewest points wins.
Registration will be online only, there is no onsite registration road rally morning.
First Car Out: 10:00 AM
Finish Location: Pat’s Thai Shabu, Stanwood, WA. Arrival approximately 4 PM.
Classes: Unlimited, Equipped, Seat-Of-Pants, and Novice. (See clarifications in Supplemental General Instructions)
General Instructions: Raindrop will use the Rainier Auto Sports Club Touring General Instructions (PDF format) available in Rally Reference and Supplemental Generals specific to this event. Please be familiar with the definitions of your selected class. Supplemental Instructions may change at any time until the provisional start order is posted.
Scoring: Raindrop will utilize Competitor-Richta GPS Checkpoints for scoring. To be scored, you must use your own Android or iOS device and load the Richta Competitor app. For an overview, see the NWRC Introduction to Richta Competitor App (PDF).
Car numbers will be assigned and the Richta Competitor event password will be e-mailed to all entrants. You can set up your Richta Checkpoints app after you receive the event password.
